Flexible Food Manufacturing
Scale Your Food Products
No matter what your company size, scaling new products can be tough… really tough.
You see, most of the food manufacturing industry is set up for either low-level production for new companies, or ultra high-volume for major brands.
But there’s a middle ground where a lot of companies can struggle… where you’ve grown your product(s) beyond what you or your initial co-packer can handle, but you’re not yet selling enough to work with high-volume manufacturers or distributors — at least not in a cost-effective way.
Co-Packer Too Small
Capacity Crunch: Struggle to meet demand, causing delays and missed opportunities.
Quality Quandaries: Inconsistent product quality as volumes increase, risking brand reputation.
Resource Restrictions: Obstacles in scaling operations, including resource and space constraints.
Compliance Catastrophes: Failing to meet compliance standards and retailers specs, undermining partnerships and market expansion.
Logistics Limbo: Mishaps in storage and distribution for larger orders
Insufficient Certifications: They may not be able to afford or obtain the certs you need
Co-Packer Too Big
Flexibility Frustrations: Low ability to adapt to shifting markets and pressure to reduce product customization
R&Difficult: High-volume operations don’t support cost-effective trials and testing
High Minimum Order Quantities: Towering MOQs can be out of reach despite your growth
Cumbersome Setup: Equipment designed for high- speed and volume production means slow and expensive setup
Bureaucracy: You have to talk to 20 people to get anything done, with little if any personal connection.
Costly Material Waste: Packaging scrap can be 10X more expensive if multi-lane machines are the only option.
Even large companies can struggle to develop new products when their existing processes are designed for high-volume. If you’re in charge of such a product, you know how frustrating this can be!
No matter what size your company, wouldn’t it be nice if you had a production partner that could meet you where you’re at, and give you the support and flexibility to grow — while optimizing efficiency and saving you money along the way?
